Niterider_58 and I have been pounding some ground the last couple of days. It's been great having someone to hunt with and he's a great guy. If our ladies let us...we'll be hunting a lot more before the weather changes. Anyway this is just one lonely silver dime but we were both shocked I found it so I wanted to post it. It was 6" down and directly below it was this huge chunk of iron..either an old broken file or maybe an old part of a knife?? He said..."man that little coil is amazing".
We both agreed that dime probably had been passed over a hundred times before ..but obviously masked by the iron. Who says the SE can't sniff goodies out of the trash??? Sorry for the short post...but I need to head to work.
 
Was it an X-5 by any chance?
 
n/t
 
I've been using the 6" excelerator for quite a few weeks now. It hasn't come off since I put it on and has become my favorite coil ....even in areas where there isn't a lot of trash. I haven't used the X-5...but I have heard it's a good coil too. It seems like almost every time out with this coil...that it does something that just impresses me or the person I'm hunting with. It has just made it fun for me to hunt pounded places again and that's as honest as I can be.
 
You need to give your self a lot of the credit the coil is only half as good as the operator.I got out today and found 4 IH and 5 wheat's and a lot of newer coins at a place that I hunted a lot.The 6" and conduct is starting to kick in,it is hard after hunting in ferris for so long.I'm going in the morning and hope to kick butt.Good luck on your next hunt.

I use conduct also, Iron has a distinctive high tone then the flu-tie tone you get on silver. I got the 4X7 coil a couple of months ago but it didn't stay long on my pole. Is the 6" a concentric or double d?
 
4.5 x 7 excelerator but I sold it once I started finding all the goodies with the 6". Don't get me wrong...I liked the 4.5 x 7...but I've found a lot more stuff with the 6".
 
nice work at any rate!

have fun at the P.A.T.H. hunt today.
if you want to hunt in springfield sometime, talk to Daron W.
he was my mentor.
 
Don't mean to butt in but....this gets my curiousity....why would being in conductive sounds be any diff.then being in ferrous when finding this coin mentioned above.....are you saying if you were running in ferrous you may never had heard the coin?.....I would think that One would rather hear two diff tones in ferrous than two similar high pitch tones in conductive.....that just confusses me.....:stars:
 
thanks.

I'm also interested in where you set your variability and limit...

Thanks,

Julien
 
anything about ferrous. He just asked me what I hunted in so I responded. I don't know how my machine would have responded in ferrous as I have used conductive for months now. The two similar sounds you are speaking of are not similar at all to me. In fact they are totally different to me. The iron squeal is a high pitched mono tone squeal while the high pitched silver tone I heard was a multi note high pitched flutey sound. I guess my ears are just trained for certain sounds as you and other ferrous hunter's ears are trained for that type of hunting. It's just a matter of the user getting used to whichever he hunts in...conduct or ferrous. Now I know why everyone said it was confusing months ago to keep trying both and switching back and forth...because you can't properly learn one if you keep switching. I think it about a 50/50 split between ferrous/conduct hunters. I don't think one is better than the other and both can be learned and mastered...but it takes lots of hours in the field. When I experimented many months ago...NH Bob and Mike (virginia beach)..gave me some great tips and pointers and they are both very knowledgeable and successful. I did find some goodies...but not what I thought I should have. It just didn't "click" for me in ferrous like it does for many successful ferrous hunters. I then decided to just stay in conduct and learn it as best I could. I hunted with other conduct hunters and we experimented with each other's signals... and that is when my finds started to improve.
What I do feel is a fact is that I think the little 6" coil was the key to this find. The guy I hunted with... niterider_58...is a great hunter and he said he had walked over the very spot many times over the years. I think the little coil sniffed out the silver hit directly over the top of the iron hit and it just amazed us both. Anyway...good luck on your next hunt and thanks for joining the post.
 
of work related issues that came up out of nowhere....yipppee! I was hoping to be able to go...but work changed that for me as of finding out last night.
